Advanced Cataract Lens Technology

Discover the next generation of implantable lenses—EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) technology, now available at Fadi Kherdaji’s clinic in Cheltenham and South Wales. Designed for patients seeking greater visual freedom, these advanced lenses provide a smooth, continuous range of focus—without the compromises of traditional multifocal implants.

What Is an EDOF Intraocular Lens?

EDOF lenses are premium intraocular implants designed to extend the range of clear vision. EDOF lenses create a single elongated focus! This means sharper intermediate and distance vision, with fewer visual disturbances like glare or halos.

Why EDOF Lenses Matter

These lenses are ideal for modern lifestyles—whether you’re driving, working at a screen, or enjoying outdoor activities. EDOF lenses reduce the need for glasses in most situations, while maintaining a more natural visual experience.

A Versatile Option for Everyday Clarity

EDOF represents one of the most advanced and refined solutions in modern cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery. EDOF lenses work for those prioritising intermediate and distance vision—with minimal side effects.

How Do EDOF Lenses Work?

EDOF lenses are designed to seamlessly extend your range of vision offering sharp distance and intermediate clarity with minimal visual disturbances. Here’s how the process unfolds, from surgery to full visual recovery.

1. Precision Implantation

During cataract or refractive lens exchange surgery, your natural lens is gently removed and replaced with an EDOF intraocular lens. The procedure is fast, safe, and typically completed in under 30 minutes per eye.

2. Visual Integration

Once implanted, the EDOF lens begins working immediately. Its unique design gently bends light to create an elongated focal point, providing smooth, continuous vision from far to intermediate distances.

3. Neural Adaptation

Over the following days and weeks, your brain and visual system adjust to the new optics. Most patients notice a steady improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall comfort without the jagged shift often associated with multifocal lenses.

4. Everyday Clarity

As your eyes fully heal, you’ll enjoy dependable vision with reduced reliance on glasses. Whether driving, working, or socialising, EDOF lenses offer long-term stability and visual freedom for everyday life.

Who Are EDOF Lenses For?

Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses are an excellent choice for adults undergoing cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange who want sharp, continuous vision across multiple distances. They’re especially suited to those with active lifestyles, frequent screen use, or a desire to reduce reliance on glasses, particularly for distance and intermediate tasks like driving, working, or socialising.

Unlike multifocal lenses, EDOF technology provides enhanced clarity with fewer side effects such as glare or halos. Patients who prefer a more natural visual experience, with a smooth transition between focal points, often find EDOF lenses to be the perfect balance between clarity and comfort.
